Zheng Qinwen took revenge on Townsend strongly, and continued to play against American players in the next round and was ridiculed for playing the United States National Games

After winning this match with Townsend, Zheng Qinwen will continue to face another American player, Kruger, in the next round, and has encountered American players in three consecutive rounds, which has completely opened the conversation box of netizens.

Townsend, the player who once became famous by beating Halep at the 2019 US Open, is also a "strange woman"! With the style of play of serving and netting, he also caused a nostalgic storm in the women's tennis world, and also played a small highlight of his career. However, the subsequent injury also forced the American star to temporarily put aside his pursuit of singles. Although the opponent's performance in singles was not eye-catching, considering that the Chinese first sister also had the experience of losing to Sigmund at this year's Australian Open, this match still made many netizens sweat for Xiao Zheng.

With the start of the game, Zheng Qinwen still reassured many fans with his strong performance. In the first set, she scored one after another to hold serve, and in the second game, Zheng Qinwen patiently maneuvered with her opponent on the bottom line, and after waiting for the opponent's mistake, she easily broke serve again. In the third game, although Zheng Qinwen made a double fault, fortunately he had an ace at a critical moment and successfully held serve again. In the fourth game, Zheng Qinwen continued his state, breaking again to lead 4-0. In the fifth game, Zheng Qinwen was already 5-0 ahead after keeping his serve. Then after Townsend held the game, Zheng Qinwen won the first set 6-1.

The first set took only 23 minutes, and there was hardly much competition between the two sides on the baseline, Zheng Qinwen completely mastered the rhythm with firepower suppression, and there was no round on the bottom line, basically a few boards ended, and the opponent only scored 10 points.

In the second set, Townsend improved his service form, using the baseline to grab points and the strong performance of the net, and gradually stabilized his position. However, Zheng Qinwen was not to be outdone, and although he could not make a breakthrough in the opponent's service game in the second set, he did not send a break point in his own service game. As a result, the two sides had to enter the tie-break. In the tie-break, Zheng Qinwen relied on a more stable baseline hit to break first, and maintained his advantage all the way, and finally won the second set 7-3, with a total score of 2-0 to advance to the fourth round.

In the whole game, Zheng Qinwen scored 20 winning points and 23 unforced errors, and the first-serve scoring rate was as high as 70%. In addition, it is rare that Zheng Qinwen's first-serve goal rate has reached 60% in three consecutive games recently, and the return of her serve state has also allowed her to play freely on the bottom line's overall offense, however, at present, her ups and downs in the game are also quite large, of course, I have to emphasize that the main thing is that today's rhythm is relatively fast, so it is more difficult to defend and counterattack.

Defeating American player Davis in his debut, eliminating American player Townsend in the third round, and facing American player Kruger in the fourth round, Zheng Qinwen's continuous resistance to the United States in Miami has become a hot topic among netizens. In this regard, some netizens ridiculed, "Facing American players in a row, I don't know that I still think that Xiao Zheng is playing the National Games in the United States?" Some netizens said, "The continuous encounters with American players actually reflect the strength of American tennis from the side, and the thickness and talent reserve of their professional tennis are very strong, but I am afraid that it is still a little bit worse to meet our anti-American fighter Zheng Qinwen!" ”

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Qinwen and Kruger are also old rivals, and the last time the two sides met was in the first round of the 2024 Australian Open, when Zheng Qinwen made a thrilling 2-1 comeback after losing the first set and finally reached the final. In this year's Miami competition, Krueger has eliminated Rybakina and Fairlandes in a row.

In addition, if Zheng Qinwen can advance to the quarterfinals of the women's singles, according to the draw, she still has a chance to continue her "anti-American journey", because she will face the winner of the quarterfinals between American player Collins and world No. 1 Sabalenka! However, considering that Collins has now lost Sabalenka for six consecutive times, if nothing else, Zheng Qinwen should usher in his own "mountain-turning" journey, facing this Russian fierce woman who has never won, this time, will there be a chance?(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
